And all this time I thought you were only very good at woodworking . But it looks like you are very multi-talented indeed. Now I have something good to copy when I eventually attempt to tackle my yokes.

Thanks Maurice

I try to do my best here. My assembly is heavy and it sure improves the feeling. Still lots of work to do. But I enjoy this little project very much

The gas cylinders pressure is 15kg. Then cut a aluminium tube and made a nylon "piston" which I attached to the end of gas cylinder. Also made a nylon "bushing" which you can see at the end of the alu tube for guiding the cylinder.

So to tight up the cylinders against each other, I just turn the alu-tubes around. Then I can fine adjust so there is practically no "slipping" in the mechanism. On the yoke, there is maximum 1mm slip in the movement. Very tight

I can also adjust the force on the yokes very easy. On the "triangular" plates where the cylinders are attached, there are 4 more holes where I can attach the cylinders. Thats how I can adjust the force if I want to

(Not sure if the word "slip" is the right one, but hope you understand what I mean) Please learn me some new words, hehe.
